I also found this IBM doc

_QNTC and CPDB053 - Error Exchanging Security Information_
Technote (troubleshooting) Reference #: N1018627
"...
+ I am getting Error Class 1 Return Code 5, what can I do to fix it?
...
If the USRPRF in question does have a matching user-ID that can sign on
to the target server, it is time to check the password settings. Does
the target server require the use of a mixed-case password (for example,
Password, paSSword, PASSword)? If this is required, review the previous
section 'What i5/OS settings will affect QNTC authentication?',
specifically the statements about sysval QPWDLVL. If QPWDLVL is set to
level 0, QNTC will send the password in all lowercase.
..."
Now, I double and triple checked that my use ID and password matched
between Windows & the i. I could in fact access the IBM i Netserver
from a PC without issue.
running 7.1 with password level 0 (yeah, that's on my to-change
list) PC in question is running WinXP.
My password was 6 characters, 2 digits and one special character,
a dollar sign $.
I changed both Win & System i passwords, and removed the $ and QNTC
worked.
I've been unable to find anywhere that lists special characters to
stay away from if you use QNTC...But I expected the simple ones, @#_
to be fine.
While the above snippet from the KB article already says so, I
realize what is described can be easily overlooked... and a specific
example might help...
Perhaps the issue was unrelated to the dollar sign. Any chance that
the password had an upper-case character before the change, for example
previously "rx7M$2" was the password and after the change "rx7ms2" was
the password? With QPWDLVL=0 the value "rx7m$2" would have been passed,
but the IBM i as server would not care which of upper\lower case had
come in.
